Diamondbacks' James McCann sets absurd position player pitching record

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher James McCann set a notable but unwanted record related to position player pitching, according to Sporting News. Position player pitching occurs when a non-pitcher is called upon to throw on the mound, typically during lopsided games to preserve the bullpen. The specific nature of McCann's record suggests he has accumulated an unusual or historically poor statistical mark in this rare pitching role.
